Yeah, that's kind of what I settled with so far..  Testing it out on the
SAN switches and maybe I'll move that config to other switches too..
I'm using PNP4Nagios, so I wrote a custom script to check the
ifOperStatus and get the traffic information on the port as well.  So a
single check is telling me status, throughput, errors, and discards...

I am running into one problem, though, and I'm not sure how to handle
it..  How are you handling parent/child for these ports, or are you?  In
other words, I'd like to pair the device connected to the port with the
port itself.  However, I'm enumerating each switch for the ports, so I
don't have individual services for each device/port combo...  My config
looks something like this :

define service {
   use                     service-standard
   hosts                   fcswitch1.example.com,fcswitch2.example.com
   servicegroups           fc-switch-standard
   service_description     Switch Port fc1/1
   check_command           check_snmp_traffic!fc1/1!-C $USER2$
}

I think I'm going to have to enumerate each host/port combo, or live
without parent/child...  *sigh*
